∘ http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libeio.html
  ‣ Libeio is a full-featured asynchronous I/O library for C, modelled in similar style and spirit as libev. Features include: asynchronous read, write, open, close, stat, unlink, fdatasync, mknod, readdir etc. (basically the full POSIX API). sendfile (native on solaris, linux, hp-ux, freebsd, emulated everywehere else), readahead (emulated where not available).
  ‣ It is fully event-library agnostic and can easily be integrated into any event-library (or used standalone, even in polling mode). It is very portable and relies only on POSIX threads.
∘ http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html
  ‣ A full-featured and high-performance (see benchmark) event loop that is loosely modelled after libevent, but without its limitations and bugs. It is used, among others, in the GNU Virtual Private Ethernet and rxvt-unicode packages, and in the Deliantra MORPG Server and Client.
  ‣ Features include child/pid watchers, periodic timers based on wallclock (absolute) time (in addition to timers using relative timeouts), as well as epoll/kqueue/event ports/inotify/eventfd/signalfd support, fast timer management, time jump detection and correction, and ease-of-use.
  ‣ It can be used as a libevent replacement using its emulation API or directly embedded into your programs without the need for complex configuration support. A full-featured and well-documented perl interface is also available.
∘ https://github.com/joyent/libuv
  ‣ libuv is a new platform layer for Node. Its purpose is to abstract IOCP on Windows and libev on Unix systems. We intend to eventually contain all platform differences in this library.
